Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and KillChain, Inc., the company that operates FLINT ("FLINT," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of flint.network, the FLINT demo and playground, the agent passport and verification services, the FLINT API and MCP server, and any related sites, software, and services we provide (together, the "Services").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.

FLINT provides trust and verification infrastructure for autonomous software agents that transact. The Services let users issue a portable agent identity ("agent passport"), submit information about an agent and a proposed transaction for evaluation across FLINT's verification layers, and receive a signed record of that evaluation (a "verification record").

FLINT is an identity and intelligence layer. FLINT is not a bank, money transmitter, payment processor, broker, or custodian, and FLINT does not move, hold, or settle funds.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. You may not use the Services if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including export control or sanctions law.

The Services are offered on a pre-general-availability basis, including waitlisted access and design partner arrangements. Features may change, break, or be withdrawn, and access may be gated, limited, or revoked at our discretion. Demo and playground features are provided for evaluation only and may use simulated data.

Any separate written agreement you sign with FLINT, such as a design partner or services agreement, controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

Some features require an account, which is authenticated through our identity provider. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your access credentials secure. Do not share credentials or let others use your account. Notify us promptly at contact@flint.network if you suspect unauthorized access.

You agree not to:

• use the Services to commit, facilitate, or conceal fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or any unlawful activity;
• submit information you are not authorized to submit, or impersonate any person, entity, principal, or agent;
• attempt to manipulate, poison, or game a verification record, trust score, or the FLINT reputation graph;
• reverse engineer, decompile, scrape at scale, or attempt to extract the Services' models, signals, or source, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, except under a written authorization from FLINT;
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services, including through automated request volumes that exceed published or communicated limits;
• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services without our written permission; or
• use the Services to build a competing product, or to train a machine learning model on the Services' outputs.

We may investigate and respond to suspected violations, including suspending or terminating access and cooperating with law enforcement.

"Your Content" means information you submit to the Services, such as agent metadata, principal and authorization details, wallet identifiers, and demo inputs. You retain ownership of Your Content. You grant FLINT a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, and use Your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Services and to produce verification records. We do not sell Your Content, and we do not use it to train machine learning models. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the rights to submit it and that it does not violate law or these Terms.

This section is important. A verification record reflects FLINT's evaluation of the information available at a point in time. It is decision support, not a guarantee. FLINT does not warrant that any agent is trustworthy, that any transaction is legitimate, or that any verdict, trust score, or signal is accurate, complete, or current. You are solely responsible for any decision to allow, hold, review, or block a transaction, and for the consequences of that decision. FLINT is not a party to, and is not liable for, any transaction between you and any agent, principal, merchant, or counterparty.

FLINT and its licensors own the Services, including all software, models, signals, verification record formats, designs, and the FLINT name and marks. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services in accordance with these Terms. Verification records we issue to you may be retained and presented by you as evidence of an evaluation, but the underlying Services and formats remain ours. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may give us feedback, and you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.

The Services interoperate with third parties, which may include identity, compliance, on-chain, and hosting providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their acts and omissions, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms.

Access is currently provided at no charge during the pre-general-availability period. We may introduce fees for some features in the future and will provide notice before charging you. Any paid services will be governed by the pricing and terms presented at the time.

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. FLINT does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any result, signal, or verification record will be accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FLINT and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility. To the maximum extent permitted by law, FLINT's total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid FLINT for the Services in the 12 months before the claim, or 100 US dollars.

You will indemnify and hold harmless FLINT and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the Services, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

These Terms apply while you use the Services. You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms or to protect the Services or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 7 through 18.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at contact@flint.network and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved informally will be settled by binding arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration body, on an individual basis. You and FLINT waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to KillChain, Inc., 131 Continental Dr., Suite 305, Newark, Delaware 19713 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, and you may reject future changes to the arbitration agreement using the same address.

We may update these Terms as the Services evolve. Material changes will be communicated by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate, by notifying account holders or waitlist members. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement with FLINT, are the entire agreement between you and FLINT regarding the Services. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent, and we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

FLINT is operated by KillChain, Inc. For questions about these Terms or to send legal notice, contact contact@flint.network or write to KillChain, Inc., 131 Continental Dr., Suite 305, Newark, Delaware 19713.
